Two Los Angeles sheriff's deputies were "fighting for their lives" on Saturday night after being shot multiple times in an ambush-style attack. The suspect was still at-large late Saturday.
One male officer and one female officer were injured in the shooting, which took place at about 7 p.m. local time.
"Moments ago, 2 of our Sheriff Deputies were shot in Compton and were transported to a local hospital," the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department tweeted. "They are both still fighting for their lives, so please keep them in your thoughts and prayers."
The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department said the deputies were sitting in their patrol car at the time of the attack and both were shot multiple times.
"That was a cowardly act," Sheriff Alex Villanueva said during a press conference on Saturday night.. "The two deputies were doing their job, minding their own business, watching out for the safety of the people on the train. To see somebody just walk up and start shooting on them. It pisses me off. It dismays me at the same time. There's no pretty way to say it."
